Farewell to Clemen...

Clemen, 7 months of age, died at 1030 am Saturday April 19.
He was beaten and drowned at Splash Car Wash in Leominster, MA.

Clemen was born in M&M World, Orlando Florida. He was survived by his
mother Jenn, grandparents, and many other friends and family.
He was well loved by all.

Clemens hobbies included being outdoors, tuning into good radio stations,
road trips, and feeling the wind blow in his hair.

A remembrance service will be held to share memories of fun times shared.

In lieu of flowers, please send M&M's


clemen on his last road trip :'(


Next time, I will use a touch free car wash so no one gets hurt.

going down :)

just wanted to let you all know that i lost 3 pounds this week! my total is now almost 5 pounds. i'm excited! i even got some complements this past weekend from people saying i looked good. yaay!!! just gotta keep truckin' :)

almost fired!

can you believe it?! so friday of last week i was called into nichole's (my new boss) office. i wondered what could i have done... well, apparently i'm not allowed to do good things for people!!! here's the story...
i ended up staying late at work on wed and had to close with a fellow co-worker. her boyfriend had left the lights on and the battery died so he was calling to say he'd be late, waaaay late. i didn't want to make the other teacher wait, cuz she would have, so i said that i'd drive her up to where he was and take the other way home. not a big deal right? well, it was her and her baby just to let you know. still wondering? apparently i can't do that because it's against code of conduct for the Y. i was brought into the office and given a "verbal reminder" not to do it again. good thing i didn't get written up, i would've been fired! the thing i don't get is why it was wrong... it was after work hours and she was in the car with me. my other co-workers don't agree that this was fair either. i'm gonna seek it out further and look into why. what do you think?
i guess i should just be grateful that i have a job...

Boston!

for jeff's birthday, (which was over 2 months ago!), i gave him a present saying for his birthday he got to spend the day with me. seem selfish? well, we never get to spend time together so it was the perfect thing for us :) jeff decided to go to boston to see the musical Annie, so we made a day out of it all.

first stop lunch at the best place ever!

sibling picture all dressed up :)

we found a park... i love the buildings in the background

of course i had to take his picture too!

we found the guy in the park... he was happy to not have cold feet anymore!!!
(get it... the last time i took a pic with him, his feet were covered in snow!)

jeff pretended to be like this guy

we made it to Annie!!!
jeff sang the whole day, lol

this pic i just thought was really neat

i did a pretty good job navigating around boston...
well, with the help of jessica that is!

it was a great day...

but note to self, never wear heels to walk around boston all day!

blessing!

I also can't forget to tell you what happened to me this past sunday. other then kristi ripping my eyebrows off, lol (pic to come later), i received a blessing from jean rogers. so, let me tell you my story... i have been going to the thursday night young adults group and had heard that kathleen carnelli was going to be at the coffee house on an upcoming thursday. i had just started to listen to her music because i had discovered it on the local christian radio, and just wanted to go and see her perform. well, the dilemma was that i didn't want to miss group. how jean got a hold of this, other then me briefly mentioning it, was slim. long story short, i went to group and missed seeing her at the coffee house. this sunday i went to service and jean was talking near my parents. i said hi and she handed me a cd! can you guess?! it was the new kathleen carnelli cd but not only that, it was autographed just for me!!! i was shocked and couldn't thank jean enough. she humbly just said i was on her heart to give it to me and that was that. i was truly blessed and i have to say, the cd is really good :) cool huh, God is sooo awesome!

about the eyebrows, i go and see kristi to get them done. well, i hadn't been in awhile, so i knew it was gonna hurt! kristi thought it was funny to make jokes while she put the wax on me... i tried not to laugh. i think she got much pleasure from tearing the strips off, what a friend! love ya anyways :) so here's a picture of me beautified thanks for kristi .




fat, need to lose it...


well, as you can tell by the title... i have been motivated. this is a picture of me at my current weight. what i am asking your help with is just to help me keep on track with keeping this commitment. i went to the doctors last week and had that chat where she told me what my BMI (body mass index) is. believe it or not, it was very scary. i knew that i was overweight, but not to that extreme. now please, i am not typing this for sympathy, but as a way to let others know what i am trying to accomplish. i have let my doctor know what i am planning on doing the next three months, and i just am asking you to keep me accountable. it is also encouraging to receive messages pressing me along. i will keep you updated and post when i have reached some goals. thanks for your help and support in advance. love you all!
